I have been looking at Malibu Solar landscape lights and notice that they post no information as to how much light they put out. They have some solar lights that have two LEDs and some with three LEDs. How do these compare with the standard 4 watt low voltage lights?
About the same but more importantly for solar non-wired lights, what is the average run time? Some cheap ones will last only 4 hours while others can make it all night.

Bought new Malibu Landscaping Solar lights. The problem is it is rainy for the past two days and dark and since I have bought them they never charged fully. I bought them two days ago.
So If I want to charge my Malibu Solar batteries with a Charger, what should I care about and how long to charge thnx
Im not sure I would go through the trouble plus I don't know if they are made to be put in a recharger. You can bring them in the house under the light and they should recharge. This is going to happen on many cloudy days too. Welcome to solar lighting.

I want to know what will provide excellent spotlighting for the landscape and will hold full charge providing great lighting throughout the night. Also what is easy to install. I want the most for my money
NONE ! Sorry to put it that way but there is no such thing a a good solar landscape light. Even though other will probably chime in saying they have some they like. You need to go with a 12 volt system which you can install yourself or the 120 volt which you will need an electrician.

I am talking about the low end pathway lights that you might get from walmart... do they have an on/off switch, or do they ALWAYS come on at night?
you can find some with an on/off switch but a majority of them don't. I think you'll find that the ones with a switch will be just a bit higher in price. All solar lights do have a photo cell though, when the sun sets the lights will turn on the light for as long as the batteries have enough power to run them.
I think it's a shame that more people don't use the better quality hard wired landscape lights. The light out put is so much better and if you notice the color of the LED light dulls and changes the color of what ever it is trying to light (usually only a 1 foot circle around the light fixture). It's more of an illusion of light, you can see the light is on but they don't really light anything.
Well, best of luck
I'm looking for something more powerful than those pale useless self-solar single lights, such are sold at Home Depot.
I'm looking for functionality, not a bargain.
These folks will even help with design:

Solar-Powered Lights | Alternative Energy HQ
While some alternative energy solutions for the home, such as complete solar energy systems, require a major investment for their initial installation, there are others which are not so complicated.
Solar lights are relatively simple to acquire and install, and are powered by clean energy. Since they usually require no wiring, they are very simple to set up.
Solar garden lights (or solar landscape lights) are one example of this. Solar garden lights have solar panels embedded into them at the top, facing the sun. Of course one drawback of these is that they might not stay lit forever. The amount of sun they receive will influence how long they last. The specifications of these lights can give you some idea of how long they will stay lit in the dark. But 8-12 hours is not an unusual estimate for a reasonably priced light, which should be plenty of time to get through the night in most circumstances.
Furthermore, these lights usually have sensors so that they turn on automatically at dusk and turn off when the sun starts shining again. This means that you don't have to run your lights the whole night through, if you don't need to. Motion sensors are also used in some solar lights, such as those that would be placed along pathways or near the front door, so that the lights turn on when an person or animal is present. This is good for security, and its also good for just seeing where you are going when you walk in a garden or path, or approach a home in the dark.
...Tips For Buying Unique Door Knocker For A Front Door
Picking just the right door knocker for a home is not as easy a task as you might first imagine. This is especially true if you are purchasing one as a gift for someone else. When buying a front door knocker there are several things you need to carefully consider. There are a variety of styles and finishes when it comes to front door knockers and the one you choose should complement the style of the home.
A modern home would not look good with a traditional style door knocker. If you are purchasing the front door knocker as a gift you may not be familiar with their home’s style. In this case it is best to go with a simple style of door knocker that will fit anywhere. Door knockers come in a wide selection of finishes.
It is best if the finish on the door knocker matches all the other hardware finish on the door. Brass is the most common metal to use for a door knocker. Brass door knockers work well because it is easy to work with and looks fabulous with both a brushed and a satin finish. Another advantage of using brass for a door knocker is that it will not rust. It is a good idea to take a careful look at the materials used to make the door knocker.
